The Blog

When I was growing up, my most cherished memories include sitting around the table with my family after dinner, swapping stories about our day and reminiscing over favorite times. Sometimes we’d sit for an hour or more, not wanting our conversation to end (or to do the dishes!). Pull up a chair and enjoy browsing through my blog posts around my virtual kitchen table. I hope you’ll connect with me by leaving comments and subscribe to receive my latest posts. My prayer for you is to be encouraged and inspired by the words I share here, without even having to help with the dishes.
